Whiplash and Injury Claims

A whiplash injury (or, simply, whiplash) occurs when a person's head snaps violently back and forth, and it usually occurs in rear-end collisions and accidents in which the neck can quickly accelerate and then quickly decelerate, such as physical assault, cycling accidents, falling backwards and contact sports. The whiplash motion severely strains the soft tissues in the neck, including nerves, ligaments and muscles, which can thereby become damaged, torn or stretched due to the vigorous back-and-forth motion. A person with a whiplash injury may be unaware of major whiplash symptoms days or weeks after the accident. Sometimes, the symptoms of whiplash [...]

Electric Scooters and their Terms of Use: Renter Beware

If you have spent any time in downtown Ottawa lately, you will have noticed a new type of public transportation that has appeared on the streets. Three operators – Bird Canada, Lime, and Roll – are bringing up to 600 shared e-scooters to the City’s pathways, bike lanes and streets.
